This year, John and I are toning way down on gifts. Money is a bit tight, and we have a house full of the junk from Christmases past. We really don’t need any more.

So I’ve been trying to figure out something fun and different to give John this year. He’s so hard to buy for. He has plenty of clothes, electronics, crap. He’s asked for a few nice books, and I’ll be glad to get them. But I’ve been trying to figure out something different. Unusual. Unique. A gift he’ll never forget.

You’ll be happy to learn that while reading the news today, I found it. And it’s to die for.

Fabulous! We’ve just been talking about how to skip gifts and still keep the “anticipation” fun of Christmas. Can’t think of anything that keeps a man anticipating more than a crazy calendar like this. You’re a creative (and generous) wife!!!

Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say superb blog!

Actually Mr. AndAHalf wouldn’t be at all interested in the calendar. He never looks at anyone else and has never once told me of another woman he finds attractive. I’ve been trying to get him to for 27 years now, failing miserably.

He also claims to have never had a girlfriend before me. I know he’s lying on that one. Ahem. About that one.

Just before heading off to bed I read your post and thought coffins and cuties a hilarious idea and i continued to laugh reading all the comments and replies – well done! Am now jumping in the coffin and closing the lid for the night.

Look at it this way. For years, they’ve used hot chicks to sell the kind of cars that would kill most people trying to drive them. So – they just eliminated the middle man. :D
I guess it wouldn’t just be the coffin that had wood…… ;)

You’re welcome, Tops. When I read the article, that was my impression — that she was inside it. And the picture (and the ones in the link) is from the 2012 calendar. I think the Church is so flipped out because this year’s may go farther. Sadly, they don’t have samples!

I think MM has it right. Focus on something else besides the grim reaper. Sheesh…I actually worked with someone when I was in my 30’s (and he was younger than me) who had already bought his cemetery plot. Who does that? I’m organized…but I wasn’t that organized in my 30’s.
